Canada almost ran me over.

[luckydog71]

First let me say my prediction in one of these threads was so far off it is obvious I lost touch with what is going on north of the 49th.

I am driving along at a good rate of speed and I am approaching Canada, travelling a little slower and in the far left lane. So I decided to pass on the right, normally a bad decision, but who the hell would think Canada would make a right hand turn from the left lane. NOT ME.

Anyway, I never honked my horn or even gave the finger. In fact I need to stop and start to applaud. It is about fucking time the voters of Canada woke up. The only ones to vote liberal were the welfare dependant provinces on the east coast.

God bless Harper….God bless Canada.

We just voted in Bush Jr. to make you happy...You're welcome

God save Canada from Harper.

God bless Harper….God bless Canada.

Is that the same God who took the lives of those miners in Pennsylvania after his followers specifically prayed for Him not to?

The same God who picked the Steelers to beat Denver, thereby allowing Jerome Bettis to "go home" and win a Super Bowl?

Was it the God who wants New Orleans to be a "chocolate" city as their mayor claims?

The God who struck his "grand poo-bah" of followers with Parkinson's and provided him with a nice, slow, painful death?

How about the God who blesses America...well...except on September 11, 2001. Note to self....September 11 is God's day off.

...and the damn commies in Vancouver (assuming Toronto is on the the east coast). Don't worry though, LD. Any legislation that will get passed will still be to the left of your Democrats (unless Harper is so successful he wins a majority next time).

sure makes jokes ... right up until the moment we invade! we kicked your ass in 1812 and we can do it again ...

the only reason the cons were voted in the way they were for the most part was because most voters are uninformed on the issues. they mainly voted for harper cause he wasn't liberal. thats all it is. a little spanking for the liberals to show that we are pissed then it will be back to liberals i'd say in no more then a year and half.

true as well, any legislation that will be passed will depend on the three socially liberal parties that out number the governing right.

don't too happy too quickly.

 

[georgebushmoron]

Belinda Stronach will run as liberal party leader, then for prime minister next time. It will be a sure win.

 

[American Male]

God save Canada from Harper.

And God save us all from right-wing, reactionary, fundamentalists, ideologues, who act as if they are the whipped, unappreciated, ignored and persecuted minority.

you know what? tell me about it. the representation on this board from alberta is not doing them any favour. all my family basically started in canada from the west going back to my great, great grandfather, my mom was born in saskatchewan. eventually they made their way east but we still had many extended close family memebers that remained in the west.

we would often travel west to visit. but some of the close minded people on this board are really making me sick. will someone tell me what exactly it is about the west and alberta in particular that the rest of canada has to "get". thats all i heard on the news today, radio and tv. people from the west who's party(no idea why its considered a western party)won and still nothing but bitching.

"oh well the city of toronto didn't vote in one con.", "montreal didn't vote in one con.", "they just don't get alberta and the west." what is there to get? someone please tell me. how are you so hard done by? what makes you such a persecuted minority? yeah i was born and for the most part raised in the east but i made frequent trips out here as a child and had and still have a large extended family out here. i've been living in vancouver now going on ten years and i'm sorry guys but i really don't see it.

i really don't see what all the bitching and complaining is about. shit man you all sound as bad as the quebec sepretists for crying out loud. all i hear is bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. get over yourselves. you are not more important or less important then any other region of this nation. live with that.

why does everyone in the country have to vote conservative in order to "get the west(alberta)" like i said before, people in ontario and toronto have voted for conservatives before. but after two mulroney governments they realized that they shouldn't make that mistake again.

 

[BushPilot]

They have far more seats per capita than any other part of Canada, so it is an unfair advantage!

You are wrong. Ridings boundaries are drawn up according to population numbers. While there is some variations due to geography, mostly in underpopulated areas, the number of people in each riding in the country is roughly the same. Ontario and Quebec have more seats because they have more people. Simple as.

 

[metoo113]

In general, the population of Canada has liberal values. That's why the Liberals have been in power for 79 of the last 110 years, and 84 since confederation. The early conservatives were called Liberal-Conservatives so I would have to asume that they were closer to the center of the political spectrum then our present day Conservatives.

Most people voted for Harper because he wasn't a liberal, the same reason why Mulroney got in after Trudeau. Obviously they trusted Mulroney more then Harper (scary thought).

close, but, Quebec is guarenteed a specific number of seats irrespective of population ... they obviously get more as their population rises, but even if we nuked them back to the stone age, they would have a minimum number of seats in the House of Commons.

 

[LonelyGhost]

where's your tongue? Hard to see from here if it's in your cheek or not. Even the corrupt Libs ain't gonna vote in a traitor, less they think she can win the next election, which she couldn't, so they won't.

Frontrunners McKenna, Ignatieff, dark horse Brian Tobin (whose election slogan will be, "The east--far east, wants in). It's really McKenna's to lose.

What about Keith Martin? and the real dark horse is Jean Charest ...

and the wildest scenario of all? Jack Layton.

No, they voted for him because he wasn't a Liberal. Many who voted for Harper would have quite happy if he was a liberal. Capital letters make all the difference.

PICKY PICKY, BUT I GET YOUR MEANING, THANKS.

 

[smackyo]

apparently mr. mulroney is in the states and already bitting the ear of mr. bush telling him that harper is the kind of man(sellout) that you can cut a deal(sell us out) with.

what the fuck is brian doing in the states so much anyway. guy doesn't even live in canada anymore yet he sure as hell takes full advantage of it when he can. we tax payers paid for his fucking daughters wedding for the love of god.

that old footage of him singing "when irish eyes are smiling" with ronald and nancy makes me sick every time i see it.

 

[Stadley]

Get over it boys? (aka chicken little)

Chicken little, the sky hasn't fallen yet!

Relax, give Harper a chance to fix up what the Liberals screwed up.

You actually might be suprised

No the sky is not falling !!

Nor is the big bad wolf coming to eat you !!
